sunny spells. A story with a happy ending. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We felt they were intensely very dangerous. | :00:07. | :00:30. | |
Our investigation revealed high levels of dangerous chemicals, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
despite the packets being labelled `s safe. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |

the final one before the schools go back and typhcally | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
there's loads going on ` so will the weather play ball for events | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
like this that are relying on it? A leading toy store chain h`s | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
withdrawn a range of plastic charms ` after a BBC Midlands Todax | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
investigation found high levels The charms hang | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
from loom band bracelets ` Charms bought from 'The Entdrtainer' | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
store in Birmingham ` contained high levels of phthalates | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
which can cause cancer. Children from all over the TK love | :01:29. | :01:50. | |
them but it's the challenge that can be attached to them that ard under | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
the microscope. A fortnight ago we tested a batch of times and found | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
some contained high levels of phthalates and could cause cancer, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
they never reached the shops. In my interview, I gave them a pack of | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
times I had bought in Birmingham City centre. It to tell looking at | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
the packet. It should stipulate it conforms to European standards, but | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
there is a lot of text here which I can't understand, so it's dhfficult | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
to tell. I'd purchased the charms from | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
The Entertainer, the UK's l`rgest Small sections of | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the charms were cut out, dissolved The Assay Office found ALL of them | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
did NOT comply with EU legislation ` To put it into context, | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
the permitted level of phth`lates But this white ball containdd | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
1.0% banned phthalates. This blue and pink one 9.3% | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
and most shocking of all, this white and yellow charm was found to | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
contain 40.2% banned phthal`tes It will get into your systel through | :03:01. | :03:16. | |
sacking and obviously a charm hanging off a bracelet is a high | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
risk item, for a child to stck, so that's why we felt they werd | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
potentially dangerous. The pack also has a CE stamp | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
on the packaging ` which should mean the charms comply with EU s`fety | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
standards but the results stggest Now those charms have been tested ` | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
I went back to see if they're still Well I've just been into thd | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Entertainer in the Bullring and here I thought I'd see if they wdre | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
stocked in any of their othdr stores They're not exactly | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the same pack but they do contain a couple of the same charms, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
and the packaging is also the same. After buying | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
the charms, we approached The Entertainer with our findings | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
and action is now being takdn. In a statement | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
the Entertainer told the BBC: Trading Standards says it's | :04:10. | :04:35. | |
going to look into the case. We can speak with the supplher, go | :04:36. | :04:47. | |
to the retailer, ask them where they got it from, wholesalers, | :04:48. | :04:48. | |
importers, more flexible but as I menthoned, | :04:49. | :05:20. | |
the permitted level of phth`lates is no .1% concentration. Let's be | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
clear, a lot of parents could be quite worried, the danger hdre is | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
with the charms, not the bands? Yes, the charms that are causing a | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
problem, the elastic bands ` day to be absolutely fine. In the last | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
half`hour we have heard frol a spokesman for the supplier, who | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
supplied the entertainer, and the company says, when we becamd aware | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
phthalates, we suspended delivery and further shipments of anx items, | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
we also re`initiated testing of all relevant products. Since receiving | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
their BBC report we liaise In fact so many supporters turned up | :06:10. | :07:09. | |
there was talk that next Frhday s match against Gillingham cotld | :07:10. | :07:12. | |

surveillance by the intelligence Security has been increased at GCHQ, | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
with police drafted in The intelligence headquarters | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
has always maintained that hts We understand the role GCHQ has to | :10:23. | :10:44. | |
play, wouldn't understand why there are continuing measures being taken | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
against the public, against their forms of communication and their | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
freedom of movement on the Hnternet. Everything I have heard frol | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
government, GCHQ, people like William Hague who looked only at the | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
kind of requests for surveillance, suggests to me that the system is | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
working and GCHQ bends over backwards to stay within thd law. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |

potaholic ` Royal Worcester World expert Henry Sandon immortalised on | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
canvas. And the Shropshire cyclist with a | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
mountain to climb ` 268 kilometres over the Himalayas in one d`y. | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
If you have a story you think we should be covering on Midlands | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
He's a self`confessed pottery fanatic who likes nothing more than | :11:31. | :12:03. | |
a cup of tea drunk out of a Royal Worcester bone china cup. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
And as the World expert on Royal Worcester porcelain, Henry | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
Sandon has already been honoured with an MBE, appearances on This is | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Now he's been immortalised on canvas. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Just a warning this report by Cath Mackie contains flash photography. | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
He has spent his life examining precious objects. Now Henry Santon | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
has become that rarity, a n`tional treasure, who cleans up rather well. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
I think it's fabulous, makes me look happy, which is what I alwaxs am, | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
I'm delighted. It's usually royalty who get this kind of recepthon at a | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
portrait unveiling but he is the king of Royal Worcester. I was at | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
school across the road and H would sneak out and spend hours whth my | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
dad, you would teach me abott the exhibits in the museum, what more | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
enthusiastic teacher could H have? I've never seen anything better than | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
this. His love has been shared in regular appearances on TV. H admired | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
the qualities, there has never been any better painters or guilders or | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
craftsman. When he arrived `s the curator of the Royal Worcester | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
museum, there were more than 10 0 people working next door, using | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
skills perfected over 200 ydars The factory has closed but one Laster | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
guilder still gives demonstrations. They used to sit and watch, it is | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
people like Henry who have ` big insight into the manufacturhng | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
process. The portrait was commissioned by Cynthia Crawford who | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
worked for the former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Incredible | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
ambassador for the city. Such a joy just to see him. You can't seem | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
without smiling. I hate thinking that when I go to having cole `` | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
heaven, they have a stick or polystyrene! He will be abld to look | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
after his Royal Worcester collection for all time. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Both the Fusion and Moseley Folk Festivals are taking | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
Music tourism as it's called is big busindss | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
bringing in an estimated ?120 million into the region every year. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
Just as importantly festivals can get cities talked about | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
and raise their profile nathonally and internationally. | :14:38. | :14:38. | |
Our reporter Ben Sidwell is in Moseley for us. | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
So Ben, are festivals being seen not just as fun, but | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Absolutely, you just have to look around here, both here and `t Fusion | :14:47. | :15:01. | |
Festival, tens of thousands of people will turn up into Birmingham, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
many of those from outside the area and bringing money into the West | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Midlands. Which is why Birmhngham is so keen to become known as ` | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
Festival city. Hidden away in a secluded Bhrmingham | :15:14. | :15:27. | |
Park, the Moseley folk Festhval now in its ninth year and a regtlar on | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the music festival calendar, which is a calendar getting fuller by the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
year. We are very central, accessible, we have the | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
infrastructure in place. From reggae to electronic, to folk and roots | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
like today, with the metal scene being so potent in Birmingh`m, I | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
think they have it covered. More festivals mean more people which is | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
what Birmingham SO keen to gain a reputation as a Festival city. They | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
bring far more income for the local businesses than you ever spdnd on | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
them, also it's about doing Birmingham a positive profile | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
nationally. It's not just boutique festivals, this year one of the | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
biggest in the country, wirdless, chose Birmingham as its second base. | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
And this weekend around 25,000 people will descend on the park to | :16:27. | :16:36. | |
see many reformers. `` performers at Fusion Festival. You have a family | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
audience, the music audiencd, there are a lot of opportunities. Half of | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
those coming to festivals and concerts are music tourists here, | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
totalling around a million people each year. Doesn't take much longer | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
than trying to drive into London, we think it's more friendly appear | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
Birmingham doesn't boast about itself enough, it's a fantastic | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
city, we love it, and there is all manner of stuff going on, wd don't | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
really go, hey, where great Whereas other cities do. Birmingham may be | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
the second city but it is hoping to soon have the reputation to be the | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
first place to come for festivals. As you can probably hear, things are | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
going on here, it's been underway for about five hours. Let's speak to | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
one of the organisers. Birmhngham does seem to be turning into a | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Festival city, that has to be good for the area. It's amazing for the | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
area and economy, ten years ago there were few festivals gohng on | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
and now we have some major ones we have Fusion, people coming to the | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
city. Is it a reputation thhng, success breeds success? Espdcially | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
with the bigger festivals, seeing the success of the Moseley folk | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Festival, work gets out of Birmingham is a good place to come | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
musically and the bigger colpanies want to come here. We want the | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
reputation as a Festival city but Birmingham has a repetition on its | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
own, it'll take a bit to ch`nge it to be a musical Festival city was | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Mike a lot of bands have cole from Birmingham, there is a lot of talent | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
here now. It will take years but it is getting to the point of | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
recognition. You get people coming from further afield. Have pdople | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
from Australia, Japan, Amerhca, mainland Europe. I have to say, | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
talking to people here, a lot of it is word`of`mouth and that is what | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Birmingham is hoping, that lore and more people will speak about how | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
good things are and then cole here for a music festival. But there are | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
plenty of other festivals in weekend, including one in Worcester | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
and a very different one in Stoke`on`Trent. Yes, the we`ther is | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
making the music at this festival, a three`day arts festival with musical | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
installations, pop`up Art, costing ?3 million from the Arts Cotncil. I | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
will find out more later. A cyclist from Shropshire whll be | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
the first British man to attempt a gruelling mountain bike r`ce ` | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
over the Himalayas. James Griffiths leaves this weekend | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
to take part in 'The Tour of the Dragon', 268 kilometres | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
over mountain passes in Bhutan. The athlete, | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
who lives near Bridgnorth, hs When your heart pounds, you struggle | :19:48. | :20:09. | |
for every breath. Headaches, nausea, that's how it feels to cycld at high | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
altitude. And that's what installed for this Shropshire cyclist as he | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
faces his toughest challengd yet. This is the bike and this is James. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
It is a bespoke build, you have the clip, petals, light weight tyres, | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
and the frame itself, titanhum frame, comfortable for riding long | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
distances, durable and lightweight. Some people say this is the most | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
challenging one`day race in the world, what's so challenging about | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
it? The altitude, above 3000 metres, the distance, 268 kilometres, | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
proportion of it is in the dark as well. Four mountain passes, more | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
than 3000 metres high, 4000 metres of climbing. We have a week for him | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
to acclimatise that some of the guys out there, this will be thehr fourth | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
year of entering, the same guy has been winning every year! Colpleting | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
it is his first name. Cows, potholed and even the risk of tigers, this is | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
cycling in the extreme. Why does he want to do it? I love an adventure | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
and the opportunity has comd round, you can't say no. James thinks he | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
will complete in 15 hours. Now all he needs to do is survive it. There | :21:46. | :21:58. | |
are plenty of other things going on this weekend. I'm intrigued by this | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
forest. I am in social Forest Park in the centre of Hanley, thdre is a | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
bit of an orchestra going on, being created by the wind and the | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
materials have been collectdd, including a drum from an orchestra. | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
First of all, please explain what is happening here. We have got the big | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
feast weekend, we are filling the streets of Hanley city centre with | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
loads of art, activity for people to get involved in, you can be part of | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
the gig, the smallest music venue, you can have a one to one gdek, | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
there are loads of things to get involved in. Stoke has an artistic | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
history but it seems like it may be overlooked. Is this a way to get | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
them back in enjoying the arts? We're trying to show them art can | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
happen anywhere, can happen in parks, something for everyone, | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
showing the Brits of the he`rts and this does that, epitomises what | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
we're trying to do. You are behind this installation. It is we`ther | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
dependent, which is great. Tell us about what is going on. This is | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
seven artists, they have each made a piece of work which responds to the | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
wind with sound. We use flutes, strings, fans, fans, electronic | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
things, they respond to the wind. My piece is howling wire, its long | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
strings stretched to this company drum, it catches the wind and | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
vibrates. Finally, someone who is pleased see the wind about! Lots | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
going on, it's all free and happening across the city cdntre. | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
A bit of a whistling in the background, organisers of the event | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
are hoping for a nice breezx weekend, everybody else going to | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
outdoor events will want it calm and dry and sunny? | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
We have got quite a lot in store, you don't need me to tell you it has | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
been quite an messy day tod`y. We have some grey skies overhe`d, it is | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
going to improve over the ndxt few days. It's not go to be a total | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
wash`out this weekend. Some sunny spells once the shower is clear and | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
by Sunday, things are looking much better. Overnight, a few showers | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
rattling about, working thehr way across the Midlands, they whll | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
eventually start to die out and we will get some clear spells. As we | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
start tomorrow, still a few showers, particularly across North | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
Staffordshire. The wins will still be strong, we will see tempdratures | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
taking a bit of a knock. On Sunday, finally we start to see the winds | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
easing, a bit chilly on Sattrday night because we get some clear | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
skies, the temperatures will drop a bit further, particularly in rural | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
spots. Sunday, things will settle down, the sun will come out, the | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
isobars are widening which leans the winds are taking a bit of a dip | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
Temperatures managing decline in the sunshine with the lighter whnds it | :26:01. | :26:07. | |

remnants of the hurricane, not too bad, some cloud will sit across as | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
but once it does clear, it will be slow to clear. When it does, it is a | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
better picture and as we he`d into September, we will see things get | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
warmer again, return to somd, really, after what has been a very | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
chilly August. `` return to some. Tonight's headlines from thd | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
